Notes
*You can make your own oat flour by grinding old fashioned oats in a blender until they form a fine powder.
**If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, you can substitute use 1 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon allspice.
Use extra pumpkin puree in my Pumpkin Pie Smoothie or Pumpkin Bars.
